Question of the Day - 06/16

[sb41champs]

Have you attended any of this summers Colts "Fan Fests" and/or "Tailgate Tour" stops ??

(Surprizingly - and unlike previous years - there has been ZERO information on the Colts website and this forum regarding any of these stops and the players who have been in attendance to sign autographs.)

[Gavin]

No but I will be attending the training camps when the Colts come to Anderson

Cannot find dates but it is rain or shine and players names will not be mentioned before arrival to each city.

Gavin, I did find out at training the other day that all autographs will be signed after the practices along the sidelines of the field. No autograph tent this year and that is really good because they could only let 120 people in and you didn't know who was signing until you waited in line and someone that left told you. When I get any more information I will pass it on to you. We still don't have the practice hours yet they were waiting on the team to tell them what hours they want. It could and may change from the previous year. The team will arrive July 28th.

Do you know what the reasoning for doing away with the tent was? And who did you hear that from?

I'm just wondering because I went to the tent every day last season, and was looking forward to being in the tent again this year. I know you think it's a good thing, but it was the only way that you could guarantee that you could get signatures from all the players. To me, it's a bad thing they are doing away with it, because last year a lot of players would never stop at the fence to sign they would just head back into the building.

I work at training camp and we had training last week and that's when we were told the tent was not going to be used this year and that all the players would be signing autographs after practice. Last year when I wasn't working we also got autographs after practice and a large majority of the players spent over an hour signing autographs. Sorry it's not what you wanted to hear but as of now that is the way that the team wants it done this year. You know the team tells AU how they want things done and we have new coaches and new system so that is why we are seeing some changes. If I hear anything else I will certainly post it on the forum.
